Love letter from Monroe
Looks like someone from Monroe (now living in Bay City) is just a leeettle cranky about my website. Here's what he/she had to say:
IP ADDRESS: 75.128.130.33
LOCATION: Bay City, MI
ISP: Charter Communications
MESSAGE SENT: Sunday, October, 19, 2008 at 03:24am
YOU ARE SO FUCKING STUPID! NOBODY FUCKING SAYS THESE THINGS AND YOU NEED TO GET A FUCKING LIFE. HALF OF THESE ARE JUST SPELLED WRONG, BUT SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME WHEN SAID OUT LOUD. SO YOU CAN GO SUCK A COCK AND GO TO HELL. Sincerely - a person from MONROE, and yes, I know how to fucking pronounce the city I have lived in my whole life. It's just like MONday, you know, the day after Sunday? And nothing like MONonucleosis which is probably why your accent is all fucked up.
Monroe, your warmth, civility, positivity and general happiness with life have warmed my heart! I love you too. <3

Wow! Somebody needs a hobby. :-)
My goodness! I find this site to be a riot! Do I have an accent? Of course not. I've lived here all my life and learned that our pronounciation (pruhnnciashun)in highly desirable. Of course we couldn't have an accent (ehksyent)! What fun!
Yeah. Someone needs to take some Valium.
Dude,
You make people from this GREAT state look bad! What's your problem? You should move to Ohio and become a Fuck---excuse me, Buckeye!
Sounds to me like someone else needs to get a life. What? did someone steal your lunch box when you were a kid? Here's a great website for you to visit: www.angermanagement.com. Seriously.
A lot of things pronounced in Michigan are localized dialects, and when you tend to live in a larger city, there is less of a dialect because you mix with people. My friend from the UP says "bayg" instead of "bag" for paperbag. It makes me laugh all the time. Also, she says "Sowna" instead of Sauna. Although I did disagree with some of the Detroit stresses and accents.
This is excellent! My husband from MD rags on my all da time for my Michigan accent.
REmember Bob Ufer and
"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECHIGAN!"?
Which is why I left Monroe......
Obviously the person who left that message is incredibly intelligent. I agree with everything he/she has to say.
I assure you that the phoenetic fy-er and fire, are quite the same. Don't post hate mail just so you feel special about yourself. And learn how to talk douche bag.
But...but...I'm not sure how to talk! I do, however, know how to spell "phonetic". :D
Tee hee...
Bah ha ha ha. I thank her for the great laugh. Poor thing has probably never left Monroe.
Ahhhhhh. My sides hurt from laughter.
As another Michigander stuck in the Pacific Northwest I get homesick and nostolgic. Reminds me of why I avoided the Monroe area when I was living there.
Oh yeah. That there was funny.
Believing one does not have an accent puts me in mind of the once popular belief that the sun revolved around the earth. We all know what happened to that idea.
I have pride in my accent. I find it rather humorous when I travel and people can tell where I am from down to "southeastern michigan" specifically.
The crayon and nuclear examples are very true in my case. I tested a few of these out on friends. Good times! Not beingable to distinguish the difference between the Michigan accent and the actual pronounciation reinforces how strong an accent.
Thanks for the post! Very cool!
This person obviously doesn't know anything. I'm proud of my accent, and this person is just putting a bad example on fellow Michiganders. Tsk, Tsk...

Oh my! Having grown up in the Grand Rapids area, I recognize a lot of the dialectic nuances you have listed. Some are regional, but the majority are words and phrases I have heard most of my life. When I lived in Colorado and in Indianapolis, many people asked me if I was from Michigan because of the accent! And I just took a photo of a crick today for a post I am doing on my own blog!
